Insurance commissioner (or commissioner of insurance) is an executive office in many U.S. states, some in the state cabinet. The office differs state by state:
- In some states insurance commissioner is a constitutional office established by state constitution; in other states the office was created by state statute;
- In some states the insurance commissioner is an elected official; in other states they are appointed by the state governor;
- In some states the insurance department or division is autonomous; in other states such a department is part of a larger body.
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) is a professional association for these individuals.

Famous quotes containing the word insurance:
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
